Born of the Flesh

“Before Christ came into the world, God promised that the seed of the woman, which was to come through Abraham, Judah, David, and so on – would redeem the world. For this reason, the genealogies were so, so important and the scripture is full of them. God would fulfil his promise, and the genealogies were given to trace God’s working through history as he brings forth the promised seed. Until Christ. After Christ, there are no more genealogies. What the Jews missed is the same thing that the modern patriarchalists miss – salvation isn’t in the family after the flesh. All that we inherit from the flesh is the corruption of Adam. All that we inherited from our fathers is the corruption of Adam. Jesus corrected this way of thinking when he said to Nicodemus, ‘That which is born of the flesh is flesh…you must be born again.'”
